ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.—A new piece, of two acts, entitled Amateurs and Actors,was represented on Saturday last at this Theatre, stated in the play-bills as " not taken from the French." The plot is easily detailed : Dulcet (I)EARmAN), a young man, who is a theatrical amateur, is in love with Miss Hardacre (Miss LOVE), and contrives to make her elope with him from her guardian, Elderberry (BARTLey), who follows diem to the home of the theatrical manager, Bustle (HARLEY), who is to bring them On the stage. Elderberry having traced the fugitives to this house, which is frequetued by . ffing,a strolling actor (WRENct-1), and his wife (Mrs. PINc(TT), who had separate'' from him, conceives that he is in a receptacle for mad persons. The conduct of the Manager and the Performers is so new to Elderberry, that he is confirmed in his suspicions. Many ludicrous and wNinisical incidents arise from this mistake. At length, as usual, the Guardian is reconciled, and the Lovers made happy. In the course of the piece many allusions are made to the manage ment of Drury-lane Theatre, and some to the Mlnagers, which appeared to be fully understood by tire audience. HARLEY displayed Isis imitative powers will) much success, particularly in an imi tation of MATHews, who was present in the side boxes, and appeared to take it in good part.— WiteNct-t also gave an imitation of KEAN, in drop ping suddenly front the salemn to the familiar in the same sentence. Both of these imitations were well received, and so was the farce altogether, which is very creditable to the talents of its re-' puted author, Mr. PEAKE, it'll.; and which was announced for repetition, with the full consent of the audience, by HARLEY, in the following novel manner .I..IDIFS and GENTS. our Farce is o'er, Your kindness is intreatuth— On Monday night, if you'll permit, Farce will be repeated.

Notwithstanding RUSSELL has -Used his utmost efforts in the arrangement and lighting of his As sembly Rooms for the public accommodation, the Balls have been very badly attended, and last Friday evening was the first only in which a social party joined in the merry dance ; yet the town is overflowing with visitors, and nmeh beauty adorns the Libraries and Esplanade eery evening. —The revival of this rational amusement has been Lronght about by the great assiduity and marked attention and politeness of our Master of the Ce remonies, who endeavours to form fashionable parties are always unceasing, and will, no doubt, be appreciated by the Nobility and Gentry in ge neral, but more especially by the Bankers, Mer chants, &c. of the cities of Bath, Bristol, and Gloucester, to whom the inhabitants are highly indebted, for the very distinguished preference they have shewn this town, for many years, and to whom they owe much of that prosperity it now enjoys as a fashionable watering-place. —On Sa turday last Lord SIDMOUTH, the Misses ADDING.

PALMER, K. N. and Mr. BARTLETT, his nephew, as Chief Mourners. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The General Committee met on Friday kit, at this Theatre, and agreed to the following port : " The General Committee have considered it necessary, previous to opening the Theatre for the ensuing season, and after the recent proceed ings in the Court of Chancery, to submit (or the information of the Proprietors, the annexed Re port of the Sub Committee, and the reasons which have induced the General Committee to approve and confirm it, in preference to the alternative lett them of t:,e adoption of the only practicable recommendiltion of the Select Commit tee, as stated in their Report to the. Proprietors, of the 28th of July last, that of closing the Theatre " If the General aunt Sub-C,oininittees had only in view their own interest, and relief :rout the unpleasant situation in which they have been placed by the late vexatious proceedings, they would not have hesitated to adopt the recommen dation of the Select Committee; but the duty they owe to their Constituents and the Public, and ordinary feelings of humanity towards the different persons interested in, ond dependant upon, their usual employment in the Theatreovill not permit them to abandon the trust reposed in them, or to deprive so many tneritoiious indivi duals of the means of support, without at least making one further effort to save this immense concern from inevitable ruin. An additional and urgent reason fur the course which theCommi•tees have Idlowed, will be found in the doubts ex pressed by tire highest Legal Authority of the country, in the late discussions in the Court of Chancery, as to the rights of the Proprietors under the Patent being affected by the close of the Theatre, and the additional weight it %you'd give to the case of the advocates for a third Theatre, if brought again before the next Parliament. " The General Committee have, therefore, considered it imperative upon them to give all their assistance and countenance to the Sub. Committee, in their endeavours to open the Theatre at the usual season ; and the Sul4-Com mittee having provided funds for this purpose, the tnanngetnent will continue under their direction until the Annual General Meeting on the 30th of September next. " The General Committee have recommended to the attention of the Sub-Committee, such sug gestions in the Report of the Slect Commit tee as ace certainly deserving of attention ; particularly with respect to the proposed ar rangement with the Creditors ; limiting, within the smallest possible extent, the practice of Or ders and Free-admissions; and as little interfer ence as possible with the duties of the Acting Ma nager, beyond such controul in the expenditure as the situation of the property imperiously de mantis. " The General Committee have no hesitation in expressing their regret, that a practice should so much have obtained of the interference of the Members of the Sub-Committee in the various departments of the Stage; but they consider it essential, for the security of the property, that the whole expenditure of the concern should remain under their direction, and, that neither this, nor the issue of orders of tree-admission, should be entrusted to the Manager, wit bout their superin• tendance and control. " The Genera! Committee have also, in pur. suance of the recomme►.dation of the Sub-Com mittee, and the reasons on which it is grounded, directed the prices of admission, for the ensuing season, to be reduced to ss. for the first, and 3s. the second price to the Bores; 3s. and 2s. to the I'it. " The General Committee can only look to any beneficial result to the Proprietors i►s opening the Theatre from a still further reduction in the expen diture, and they are aw are the season will coin reelice under very inauspicious circumstances fur the Alanager. The discussions which preceded the Injunction obtained, on an ex parte statement, from the Chancellor, and subsequently the Injunction, until it Was dissolved, ks prevented that prepa ration which is so essentially necessary; and the Sub-Committee have not reported as vet any accession of talent to the strength of the company; still, the short time which intervenes between the last meeting of the General Committee and the opening of the Theatre will be made the best use of by tl►e Manager, and the beginning of the season has always hitherto been more profitable, or, to speak more correctly, less unprofitable thau any subsequent period. " The General Committee hare already stated the principal reasons which influenced their ap proval of the attempt of the Sub-Committee to open the Theatre ; their duty to their constituents and the public ; their anxiety to prevent distress to the numerous persons dependent on the esta blishment ; and the danger to which the patent might be subjected, and the additional weight which v.'ould be given to the arguments and claims of the applicants for a third Theatre, it this should be shut to the public. Beyond the attainment of these objects, and the prevention of further loss, which must have been the certain consequence of a different determination, they are not sanguine of success as far as the proprietors are concerned. The creditors have, however, a distinct and para mount interest, and their concurrence in any iota sure which shall keep the Theatre open till at range ments can be made for the liquidation of their claims, cannot be a matter of any reasonable doubt. " For their satisfaction, the General Committee have recommended to the Sub-Committee to offer them the nomination of a joint-receiver, to act with Air. Dunn, on the part of the Proprietors, of all the rents and profits of the property; and that, after the payment of the niOuly expenses, and reimbursement of such sums as are advanced by the Sub-Committee to open the Theatre, the residue be applied towards such fund as may here after be provided for their payment : and the Ge neral Committee will be upon all occasions happy to confer with the Creditors upon any measures they may themselves devise for their further security and satisfaction. The Getreral Committee, in the uncertainty of being able to proctue a full attendance at a Special General Meeting at this season, have con sidered it their duty to take measures to commu
